E, I bought a Dell Dimension 4100 (P-4 desktop) running Windows ME last August. Two weeks after taking it out of the box, the Windows ME O/S software became corrupted after I installed some program updates. This sounds like your situation. Dell also had me overwrite the hard disk and reinstall all the software. Big pain in the neck, but it worked. I, too, questioned why Windows would not become corrupted again (since I did reinstall everything that I previously had on the HD.) The response from the Dell tech focused on the stability/instability of Windows code. I would recommend that you take the new hard drive, since it has been offered. You are going to have to reinstall all of your software regardless of whether you overwrite the existing HD, or install a new one. Finally, you might consider that this is an excellent time to consider for a fresh install of Windows XP (or Linux).
